Every true artist does feel, consciously or unconsciously, that he is touching transcendental truths; that his images are shadows of things seen through the veil. In other words, the natural mystic does know that there is something there, something behind the clouds or within the trees; but he believes that the pursuit of beauty is the way to find it; that imagination is a sort of incantation that can call it up.
Gilbert K. ChestertonA great man knows he is not God, and the greater he is the better he knows it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe home is not the one tame place in the world of adventure. It is the one wild place in the world of rules and set tasks.
